THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF LIMESCALE

PROTECT YOUR HOME AND YOUR APPLIANCES FROM…

-

The cost of limescale damage on your home appliances can be huge, not to mention the effects on your family’s wellbeing. Take advantage of this EXCLUSIVE OFFER from EWT.

DID YOU KNOW that each year, in a hard water area, the average family home will use water containing 154lbs (70kg) of scale. If left unchecked, this mountain of limescale can cause serious – and expensive – damage to your home plumbing and appliances, and kitchen and bathroom fittings, too.

The Carbon Trust estimate that just 1mm of limescale in water pipes can increase energy consumptio­n by 7%. With utility bills set to rise for the foreseeabl­e future, this represents a significan­t cost to the average family home.

Your household plumbing becomes increasinl­gy inefficien­t, which makes heating your water extremely expensive. For example, a boiler with just 5mm of scale takes an extra 4 hours to supply the average home’s hot water – 90 minutes is all it should take!

And, of course, this limescale finds its way into your household appliances, too. Just take a look into most kettles and the evidence is there for all to see. The furred up heating element, the heavily stained inside and the nasty flakes of scale which find their way into your morning cuppa.

Yes, you can buy a new kettle for less than a tenner, but washing machines and dishwasher­s are much more expensive to replace. Limescale build-up reduces the lifespan of the appliance and increases the likelihood of a breakdown. And who couldn’t do without the expense of calling out a plumber these days?

Even if you ignore the hidden dangers lurking in your water system, physical evidence of limescale damage is all too evident throughout your home.

In the kitchen, taps, tiles and stainless steel surfaces all bear the hallmarks of limescale damage. Evidence can be found on your pots and pans and, unless your dishwasher has just been installed, you will find tell tale water spots and stains on justwashed glasses and cutlery, too.

In bathrooms and WCs, toilets, taps and tiles are dulled with scale damage, and the oncesparkl­ing sink and shiny shower enclosure are almost impossible to keep clean for any length of time.

Even freshly washed clothes feel rough to the touch, and tiny scale particles can contribute to incidences of dry, irritating skin for yourself and family members.

New home builders and renovation companies are waking up to the damage limescale can cause, and the cost implicatio­ns of leaving it unchecked. What’s the point in investing in that sparkly new kitchen or bathroom, only to see the shine come off within months, thanks to the build-up of limescale.

THE GOOD NEWS is that limescale can be permanentl­y removed from your home quickly and easily, using a system that can pay for itself in the first 18 months. After that, the significan­t savings are yours to keep ... year after year!
